Can certain vegetables affect our tanning color?

Our tanning color differ from one person to another! Some people get tanned directly from the first exposure to the sun while others can stay for hours with no results!

According to recent scientific research, eating vegetables on a daily basis, particularly tomatoes and carrots, can give the skin a glow and a sexy tan!

Scientists say: “It is the carotenoid in fruits and veggies that provide a natural and darker color to our skin”. Carotenoids are stored in fat, under the skin and they are secreted through the skin to create the golden color we desire.

Carotenoids, with their antioxidant qualities, are also successful at decreasing the harmful compounds which are the result of our stressful lifestyles. They participate in increasing our immune and reproductive sysytem.

For a healthy and natural golden color, Dr Stephen recommends a daily minimum intake of five portions of vegetables.
